John Korsrud’s Absolute Unit

Started in 2022 by John Korsrud, Absolute Unit has history of creating site-specific performances, starting with workshops at LanaLou’s in Vancouver’s DTES and more recently exploring the immersive acoustics of the SFU Atrium.

For those looking for an unusual musical experience, Absolute Unit is an unpredictable 18-piece psychedelic lounge orchestra, playing indescribable music combining drum’n’bass, ambient, noise, soundart, and a few funky hits from the 70s. Absolute Unit is made up of an all-star collection of Vancouver’s top artists: 4 laptop/ electronica performers, two drummers, two keyboard players, bassist, guitarist, six horns, vocalist and projection artist.
